MRS. GRANT JOINS THE GREAT
COMPANY BEYOND THE
RIVER.

Died, on Tuesday, at o'clock P. M.
Frances Etheridge, wife of Hon. Lew
Grant, of this city. Mrs. Grant was born
in Sheldon, Vermont, and in early life
the family moved to Green county, N
Y. She was married at New Baltimore
Green county, April Is, 1882, that being
her 22d birthday. Mr.. Grant and wife
came to Wisconsin in the summer Of
1886, and settled in the town of Bristol
on farm, where they resided twenty
years. In 1856 Mr.. Grant and family
moved into this city, which has since
been their residence. The family con-
sists of two children-E. L. Grant, ex-
Mayor of this city, and Mrs. Julia Dur
kee, whose husband died some years
ago.
1t seldom falls to our lot to make
mention of the death of one of our early
settlers and acquaintances with more
profound regret than that of Mrs. Grant.
She has history full of good deeds, a
friend of the poor and the unfortunate,
an exemplary christian and valued
member OF society. Her life's aim was
to make all within the circle of her in.
fluence better and happier. Her mem
DRY needs not to be perpetuated by in
scriptions on marble it will long live in
the recollections of her friends, family
and descendants. The example of good
life never dies ; it lives, though unseen,
through the ages.
We're a star quenched on high
For ages would its light,
Still travelling downward from the sky,
Shine on our M rtal sight"

afternoon, which resulted in the instant
death of Mr.. VIM. III. Kelly. He had
been drawing sand during the day, and
engaged with Mr.. Hull to draw the wood
cut from tree which had been ordered
taken down in the park to Mr.. Hull's
house. He drew one load and was on
the road with the second when some of
the wood slipped off the front of the
wagon opposite Mr.. S. Doan's house,
frightening the team, which ran away.
Mr.. Kelly was sitting on the wood and
fell with it. One of his legs caught in
one of the wheels and was broken and
one of the rear wheels ran over his
head, crushing in his skull, and causing
almost instant death. The unfortunate
man was about 81 years of age, and was
married to daughter of Mr.. Michael
German, who lives at the south end of
the city. His funeral services were held
at st. James church on Monday after
noon and were attended by very large
number of our citizens, who sympathize
with his widow in her affliction. Rev.
Father Cleary preached a very i'm
pressive sermon ON the uncertainty of
life and the necessity of being always
prepared to die.
